Honkai Impact : The Imaginary Human(Honkai Impact 3rd x OC)

A Funny Day

This had to be some sort of joke. Him becoming a part of their squad when he just tried to kill them ? Bianka was about to loudly shout her disapproval but Ragna was faster.

"Why the sudden change of heart ? You looked ready to slaughter us all just now."

"That was before you made contact with your allies. For a reason I can guess, you didn't report me to your organization but now they will know. Not only that, I can tell from the current situation that it has quite the reach and influence. In that case, becoming a part of this organization as your subordinate is a safer bet." Lux banished that fleeting reminiscence from his head. He had to think clearly.

His explanation might sound rational for a second, but it had several flaws. "...I don't understand. Even if this is true, why do you want to become my subordinate ? And what makes you think I'd accept ?"

Lux's eyes narrowed pensively. "Because I think you're a decent person. It's pretty easy to see, to be honest. And because you need my help."

Himeko, having recovered from being flung into the tree, then spoke up. "Do you think we can't deal with an Eruption of this size ?" Was he looking down on them because he had been about to wipe them out ?

"I don't think that. You girls are not weak. But with me, you can save more people. You already know that I can summon and control Imaginary Constructs, right ? While that depends on the type, I can summon up to fifteen units I can precisely control. That immediate addition to your forces would help, no ? As for why I think your Captain is a decent person...let's call it a gut feeling."

The gears of Ragna's mind began to rotate at a high speed. To trust the boy before them was hazardous and that was lightly putting it. On the other hand, his help would save far more people : the Honkai Outbreak had been too quick, no squads beside them were ready and close. Teamwork would be rough, but he seemed to be able to fight alone, judging by what she saw in Siberia and right now. Anyhow, she only had less than three minutes to make her choice before the Honkai Beasts and his points seemed valid. She just had to check on one thing before that.

"I need you to answer a few questions before I make my decision about your proposition."

"Go ahead. I'm not sure if this will bring you any piece of mind, but I won't lie for now."

He was right, this brought no peace to her mind whatsoever. Geez.

"Does the world you arrived to disappoint you ?"

"...What ?" For the first time, he looked completely taken by surprise. That obviously was not the kind of question he expected.

"I'm the one asking the questions here. Answer."

"...I don't understand. I didn't go to a different world. Siberia is way too close for that."

"Then, what were your expectations in coming here ?"

"Only to find a better place than Siberia, no matter how slight. A place where I could fall asleep a little more at ease. That's all, really."

...So, it was like that in the end. Ragna felt like she was equally disappointed and satisfied that his answers had been as close as to what she expected.

Heaving a sigh, she made her decision.

...

...

A fresh trail of purple blood splashed the outskirts of the town as Himeko bisected the Honkai Beasts trying to pincer her. They had shown a bit of brain, but that ultimately didn't make much difference for the red-haired Valkyrie. The Archangels that simultaneously tried to attack from the right and the left were introduced to the wide slash from Himeko's greatsword.
